Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon are all locked in a race to see who can zero out their carbon pollution first. Apple reported on Wednesday that it is more than halfway there. Since 2015, the company has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by around 60%, the company said. That covers everything from manufacturing and marketing to corporate operations and customer use. Many companies have successfully eliminated the carbon footprint of their core operations. Cheap solar and wind, and increasingly

Ahead of Earth Day next week, Apple has provided an update on its “Apple 2030” goal to become carbon neutral across its entire footprint. The company says it has now surpassed a “60 percent reduction in its global greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2015 levels.” Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, touted this accomplishment in a statement today, but noted that the work is only getting harder as we approach 2030: “We’re incredibly proud of the

How often do you replace your laptop? Every five to seven years? Maybe more? You probably don't wait as long to upgrade your phone, but that's what the DIY supplier iFixit and the refurbished device retailer Back Market want to change. Ahead of Earth Day on April 22, the two companies have partnered to launch a marketing campaign that encourages consumers to replace their phones every five years instead of the national average of two and a half to three years.

There are reasonable arguments to suggest that AI tools may eventually help reduce emissions, as the IEA report underscores. But what we know for sure is that they’re driving up energy demand and emissions today—especially in the regional pockets where data centers are clustering. So far, these facilities, which generally run around the clock, are substantially powered through natural-gas turbines, which produce significant levels of planet-warming emissions. Electricity demands are rising so f

Boldly going: The US Space Force has awarded $13.7 billion in contracts to SpaceX, United Launch Alliance, and Blue Origin under the National Security Space Launch Phase 3 program. The contracts run through 2029 and mark the first time three companies will simultaneously handle top-priority military satellite missions – signaling a new era of competition in defense space launches. SpaceX secured the largest share of the contracts, landing $5.9 billion for 28 launches. Meanwhile, ULA snatched $5

A long-awaited launch contract for national security missions was announced by the U.S. Space Force after close of business Friday evening. The mission spreads nearly $14 billion worth of missions between Blue Origin, SpaceX and United Launch Alliance (ULA). The contract is known as Lane 2 of the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 3. These are firm fixed-price, indefinite-delivery contracts that will be issued in batches of missions to the launch providers over a five-year period begin

Air pollution kills millions every year — where does it come from? A breakdown of the sources of many air pollutants that damage our health and ecosystems. Millions of people die prematurely from air pollution every year. This problem has existed since humans started burning materials for fuel — first wood and biomass, then fossil fuels. But it’s an environmental and public health problem that we can make progress on. We know this because the world has already been successful in reducing air p

China created a new entity called the "Deep Space Exploration Laboratory" three years ago to strengthen the country's approach to exploring the Solar System. Located in eastern China, not far from Shanghai, the new laboratory represented a partnership between China's national space agency and a local public college, the University of Science and Technology of China. Not much is known outside of China about the laboratory, but it has recently revealed some very ambitious plans to explore the Sol

“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” With a sly grin that I’d soon come to recognize, Paul Ginsparg quoted Michael Corleone from The Godfather. Ginsparg, a physics professor at Cornell University and a certified MacArthur genius, may have little in common with Al Pacino’s mafia don, but both are united by the feeling that they were denied a graceful exit from what they’ve built. Nearly 35 years ago, Ginsparg created arXiv, a digital repository where researchers could share the

NASA is not one to let a good spacecraft go to waste. For nearly two weeks, the space agency has been trying to reestablish communications with a recently launched satellite that was originally headed toward the Moon. Lunar Trailblazer launched on February 26 on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the aim of entering lunar orbit and gathering data on the state of water on the Moon. Despite successfully deploying from the rocket, the spacecraft began experiencing trouble with its power system sh

In Brief The launch of Anthropic’s coding tool, Claude Code, is off to a rocky start. According to reports on GitHub, Claude Code’s auto-update function contained buggy commands that rendered some workstations unstable and broken. When Claude Code was installed at the “root” or “superuser” levels — permissions that give programs the ability to make operating system-level changes — the buggy commands would let applications modify typically restricted file directories and, in the worst-case scen

A number of major carmakers — including Toyota, Stellantis, Mazda, and Subaru — "pooled" their emissions with EV makers Polestar and Tesla earlier this year, in an effort to comply with tougher European Union carbon emissions rules. Put differently, the companies are hoping to meet yearly emissions targets by teaming up with EV companies, which have racked up an abundance of carbon credits — since their vehicles don't produce any carbon emissions like gas guzzlers. It's a clever accounting tri

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. Swarms of autonomous robots are increasingly being tested and deployed in complex missions, yet a certain level of human oversight during these missions is still required. Which means a major question remains: How many robots—and how complex a mission—can a single human manage before becoming overwhelmed? In a study funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), experts show

Take the US, for example. The IEA report points to other research showing that the 10 states hosting the most data center growth saw a 10% increase in electricity demand between 2019 and 2023. Demand in the other 40 states declined by about 3% over the same period. One caveat here is that nobody knows for sure what’s going to happen with data centers in the future, particularly those needed to run AI. Projections are all over the place, and small changes could drastically alter the amount of en
